Same.
Meanwhile this looks like this sort of man-purse that in my corner of the world is referred to as something that loosely translates to "quiver of righteousness".

It’s about 4x the price of a man purse, even a brand-name like Nike.
lol! What corner is that?
Poland and the original wording is "kołczan prawilności".
The "righteousness" in question is a calque from the Russian adjective "правильный", meaning "correct, right, proper" and originates from prison slang. I believe the equivalent English term is "Original Gangster".
The term is of course used in jest in reference to how man-purses, out of all things, are normalized among people associating themselves with street culture, especially that my understanding is that those items were initially just fanny packs worn differently.
Fanny packs: so uncool! Man-purses (or “murses” in my corner of the world): so righteous!
